Usually a general obstetrician can care for most pregnancies. However, sometimes
having a baby is more complicated than usual. A pregnancy is considered high-risk
when there are potential complications that could affect the mother, the baby or
both.
These complications could exist prior to pregnancy or could arise during pregnancy
and include:
- Heart disease
- Cervical insufficiency
- High blood pressure (hypertension) or preeclampsia (toxemia)
- Placental problems
- Multiple gestation pregnancies (twins, triplets or more)
- Diabetes or other endocrine disorders
- Infectious diseases
- Kidney or gastrointestinal disease
- Premature rupture of membranes
- Recurrent pre-term labor and delivery
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Congenital abnormalities (birth defects)
- Later age pregnancy
A maternal-fetal medicine specialist is an ob/gyn who has received additional education
(a fellowship) and can evaluate, diagnose and monitor high-risk pregnancies.
The Obstetricians at Complete Healthcare for Women specialize in making a high-risk
situation less stressful for you, your baby and your family. Whether your risk is during
the term of your pregnancy, during labor and delivery, or during the post-partum period,
our specialists care for the unique needs of your growing family.
